The launch of Charlotte Olympia, a celebration for House of Waris, and the VMan 21 party

Tuesday night was a busy one for the fashion flock, with no fewer than a dozen parties vying for attention. First up, jeweler Waris Ahluwalia, who presented his first “House of Waris” Fashion Week presentation this past weekend, celebrated by hosting a private dinner at the Alger House in the West Village with the help of Chloë Sevigny, Olivier Zahm, and Prosper and Martine Assouline. He was also celebrating his partnership with the Luxury Collection Hotel group, taking Waris’s eye for craftsmanship to a larger scale. The designer’s mother was there to toast her son, and, in her honor, chef Lydia Shire of Scampo at the Liberty Hotel in Boston whipped up some Indian cuisine.

At the Royalton on Forty-fourth Street, the impossibly chic Charlotte Dellal was celebrating the launch of her Charlotte Olympia line stateside at Bergdorf’s with Hamish Bowles, her mother, Andrea Dellal, and Julia Restoin Roitfeld. Charlotte, wearing a black beret-type hat with a spider-web design made of gold chain by Victoria Grant, said she loves all things classic, and when the barman began making a drink, she exclaimed, “I love the sound of an old-fashioned cocktail shaker!” There was a list of cocktails with clever names like Common Miranda (named after her Miranda shoe) and Charlotte’s Web.

Back downtown, all roads led to the VMan 21 party at the new SoHo Mondrian (so new, in fact, that the floors are still unfinished in certain rooms), where Kanye West made the rounds along with the likes of Leigh Lezark, Lauren Remington Platt, and Lady Bunny.
